Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants allocated to the Optimising Care intervention arm will receive a 12-month exercise and dietary intervention, delivered using an eHealth model (i.e., video-platform based on participant preference: Zoom, Teams) by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD). The intervention will be individually tailored (based on sites of metastatic disease, treatment-related side-effects, baseline assessment of outcomes, and pre-screening questions). Tailoring may include the number, frequency, and timing of sessions. Participants will have access to a maximum of 10 AEP sessions and 10 APD sessions over the 12-month intervention period. All sessions will be delivered one-on-one with the health professional, scheduled at a day and time convenient to the participant. Initial AEP and APD sessions will be approximately 1 hour each, with follow-up sessions approximately 30-45 mins in duration.
Participants will be provided with a study workbook and logbook that outlines content delivered in sessions and the prescribed exercises, and helps participants keep track of the activities completed in between sessions. Participants will also be provided with resistance bands to assist with strength-based exercises at home.
The exercise intervention will focus on increasing aerobic-based and resistance-based exercise (body weight, resistance bands or weights) activities, with a goal of achieving greater than or equal to 150 minutes of activity per week moderate intensity or higher and including 2 sessions of resistance exercises. The weekly exercise prescription, including the type, intensity and duration will be tailored to the individual. Common exercise to be prescribed will likely be walking and stationary cycling, as well as resistance exercises using resistance bands provided for home use. Exercise intensity will be recorded in the Logbook using the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale.
The Dietitian will work with participants to make sure that they are eating well (e.g., sufficient protein intake) with a focus on improving your overall diet quality and helping to manage symptoms.
Adherence to exercise and diet sessions (e.g., attendance, compliance to the prescribed exercises) will be recorded by the AEP in the case management file during eHealth sessions.

Comparator / control treatment
Participants allocated to the Current Practice control arm will receive usual care from their treating clinicians and will be encouraged to access existing services and resources (e.g., Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA)’s online tool to receive information and resources in relation to exercise and nutrition). The My Journey online tool is available to all Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer (https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/bcna-resources/my-journey/). The resources tailored to women with metastatic breast cancer have been updated by the research team as part of this study. The online tool also informs women of other existing community-based or online support options, including accessing support to allied health services (e.g., APD and AEP) through a General Practitioner (GP)-coordinated Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan.

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size calculation: Based on detecting a minimum clinically important difference of ½ SD between the Optimising Care intervention and current practice groups for the primary outcome of self-reported physical function (EORTC QLQ-C30) at 12-months, with 80% power and 5% significance (two-tailed). Allowing for 35% attrition, based on our pilot study and assuming fewer disease progressions with recruitment closer to diagnosis, a total of 200 women (100 per group) will be recruited. With this sample size we will have 94% power to detect a between-group difference in change in lean mass of 1 kg, with a SD of change from our pilot study of 1.6 kg. This magnitude of difference is likely to be clinically meaningful and feasible to achieve. The sample size will provide 80% power to detect effect sizes of ½ SD in secondary outcomes. We have assumed no differential attrition between study arms based on CI Hayes’ current exercise trial (vs control) in women with ovarian cancer who have similar poor prognosis.
Sample size feasibility: The sample size will be feasible to recruit via the Queensland Oncology Repository over the 2-year recruitment period. Of the approx. 4,000 Qld women diagnosed with breast cancer each year, 4.6% will be diagnosed with de novo MBC. Conservatively estimating that approximately 10% of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer previously, will be diagnosed with recurrent MBC each year, we estimate another ~380 Qld women diagnosed with MBC (n=555 per year in Qld). Estimating that 45% may deem themselves ineligible due to prognosis and conservatively estimating a 50% recruitment rate across the two-stage consent process (approx. 152 per year), we will be able to recruit our sample of 200 women within the 2-year recruitment period.
Statistical methods: Intention to treat analyses and per-protocol sensitivity analyses will be used. The statistical analysis plan includes the use of linear mixed models for the primary outcomes (and secondary outcomes) using all available data. Analysis code will be written and agreed using pooled data before knowledge of group allocation is provided. There will be no formal adjustment for multiple testing, though results will be interpreted with multiple testing in mind. Statistical significance will be set at p<0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a 12-month eHealth exercise and diet program on the quality of life and wellbeing of women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), compared to a current practice control Who is it for? This study is for women aged 18 years or older, who have been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the previous 10 years, living in Queensland and are well enough to partake in an exercise program. Study details Participants who choose to enrol in this study will be randomly allocated (by chance, similar to flipping a coin) to one of two treatment groups. Participants who are allocated to the first group will be given access to an eHealth-delivered exercise and diet program for 12 months. These participants will be able to attend up to 10 one-on-one remote video sessions with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and up to 10 sessions with an Accredited Practising Dietitian. During each session the health professionals will work with participants to create a tailored exercise and/or eating plan to optimise participants' health and wellbeing. Participants who are allocated to the second group will continue to receive their current treatment/s from their specialists and will be encouraged to access existing services and resources (e.g., Breast Cancer Network Australia’s online tool to receive information and resources in relation to exercise and nutrition). The My Journey online tool is available to all Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer (https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/bcna-resources/my-journey/). The online tool also informs women of other existing community-based or online support options, including accessing support to allied health services (e.g., dietitians and exercise physiologists if they wish to) through a General Practitioner (GP)-coordinated Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. Data Collection All participants will be asked to complete a physical assessment (via video), a DXA scan at a local imaging facility, an online questionnaire, and a food/drink recall at the time of enrolment, and then at 6 and 12 months after enrolment. At 3 and 9 months, participants will only complete a brief online questionnaire. It is hoped this research will determine whether a tailored telehealth exercise and diet program has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of women with metastatic breast cancer. If this program is found to be effective it may be expanded across Australia for access by a larger number of metastatic cancer patients.
